Title: ALR Virtual Museum
Post by: smallpatch on December 24, 2008, 05:46:27 AM

I just got an e-mail, describing a new board category, "ALR Virtual Museum".

From the letter, it sounds like it is already in existence.  So far, I've not been able to find it.

There is a heading at the bottom of the normal forum listings, but when I click on it, I just go back to the regular forum listings.

Does anyone know how we get there, or is it just starting  up???

Any help??

Smallpatch,
It's still under construction at the moment.  Those that are working on it should have it ready to go sometime tomorrow.  Trust me, the wait will be worth it. 
Cheers,
Ken

I received the same e-mail.  Got me all hot and bothered, then nothing . . . sorta like dating in high school.

Sure enough....I got one too! It sounds like a great idea. In the past I have posted pictures and information on a number of Midwestern gunmakers on ALR, only to watch them slowly disappear with the rest of the old posts. Knowing that they will remain in a format like this makes posting them seem much more appealing.

This is a great Idea! I like it a lot and am glad we have some heads up folks making it happen. Thanks again guys for your hard work on the behalf of us all.
it takes a bunch of time to work out the kinks for this kind of stuff.

I think this is a great idea.  This site is already  great and this will put it on a new level.  Endless possabilities.

I would like to thank Nord and Hurricane for their efforts to put this together and the collectors who were willing to share pics of their rifles for the benefit of us all. Hopefully others will follow their lead. How fitting this goes live on Christmas Eve.
